Most people will be put off by the shallow gameplay. [Apr 2008, p.106]

It loses whatever grip it has on your attention too quickly. [Mar 2009, p.103]

It's an enormous game, but a bit of a shambles. [Sept 2016, p.103]

There's little here to warrant dusting off your spacesuit. [Feb 2010, p.111]

It's a bit jerky and a bit slow. [Dec 2011, p.103]

Unfortunately what could've been a fun tie-in is held back by technical hiccups and an inefficient combat system. [March 2018, p.85]

Despite this the core grind of American Fugitive fails to both tap into the random chaos of classic GTA and the thrill that should come from being a convict on the run seeking answers. It’s a game that sadly can’t outrun the spectre of its own inspiration. [Issue#163, p.86]

Reasonably pretty, totally inoffensive, and crazy cheap at 3.19 quid. [Mar 2010, p.107]

Promise in spades, but I'm glad Season One's kicked the bucket. [June 2016, p.92]

As thin as the walkers you're outrunning and with some glaring flaws, this unnecessary spin-off is ill-suited to Telltale's strengths, only exacerbating its weaknesses. [July 2016, p.80]

It's almost completely joyless. [Oct 2009, p.116]

There are moments of brilliance to be had, but it's hard to appreciate them. [July 2015, p.95]

An interesting misfire. [July 2016, p.84]

Or just implode at the superpower-draining load times. [Aug 2007, p.114]

With "Oblivion" looming, Untold Legends' one-noe gameplay feels woefully outdated. [Apr 2007, p.116]

Sam is implied to be neurodivergent, and is forced to pick between masking his differences for a happy ‘normal’ life or living authentically but miserably in a forced existence. Twin Mirror is bleak, often flawed and far from Dontnod’s best work – case closed. [Issue#184, p.91]

Repetitive missions and drab recitals of dialogue don't justify the price. [Issue#51, p.118]

Sweet, small, but imperfectly formed. [July 2016, p.90]

If Martyr was the Warhammer game you’ve been waiting for, it’s likely to disappoint. [Issue#154, p.80]

In its defence, Retribution is free to play – so while it can’t compete with Killzone Shadow Fall, that’s an unfair expectation to begin with. But it’s still a PS4 release, and in this regard feels like a grubby stowaway that’s snuck aboard a glitzy cruise liner bound for the golden shores of next-gen.

Somewhere in the confusion of half-baked genres, messy visuals and flawed design are some great features. Battleborn does itself no favours trying to convey them. For the persistent only. [July 2016, p.92]

Slightly wobbly on its feet. [Issue#158, p.94]

It's lovely for a brief trip down memory lane. [Jan 2012, p.111]

Proof that style is no substitute for substance. [Issue#158, p.95]

The biggest problem here is the minimal interaction on offer. [Jan 2012, p.113]

A slightly strange fit. [Jan 2012, p.114]

Some shoddy finishing touches ruin a shooter that's genuinely full of potential. [Aug 2014, p.86]

A decent game. [Spring 2011, p.113]
